uglydog I too am a bit of a handgun nut,my wife just calls me a nut but I think it's very Important to be a specific nut,I own too many pistols,many I have never shot,I own several shotguns but I'm not the best shotgunner around.People I hunt with says,if he pulls the trigger,some thing hits the ground.I shot silloutte in the 70's and part of the 80's so when I shoot a handgun I usually hit the target.But I seem to have problems with shotgunning.People like to shoot against me unless it's pistols,I have a good day if I hit 70% of clays.I'm sure it's just some fundamental lacking on my part,and I have owned and still own a few good shotguns,My 870 is my favorite,but I hit better with a 12 guage bakial side by side.I owned a browning citori and could not wait to trade it in on a gun I can hit with,I only owned it for a month and shot less than 300 rounds and I could not hit 50%,I traded for a browning gold and same problem.I can't look down the barrel with my cheek against the stock,I have to pull my head back a few inches and I'm sure that throws me off.I need to be fitted by a gunsmith.If I ever get enough money put aside I will.But I find that side by sides are easier to sight with for me.Drop-Shot
